Sacraments for the Dying<br />
When Catholics are nearing death, the Church invites these<br />
persons to receive the sacraments to give them spiritual strength<br />
and comfort as they prepare for their journey home to God.<br />
These sacraments include Confession, Anointing and the<br />
Reception of Holy Communion (often called “viaticum”, literally<br />
“the food for the journey”). These sacraments are most<br />
fruitful for the person if they conscious, alert and able to participate<br />
in the rites. Therefore, we encourage you to contact the<br />
rectory and ask for a priest to administer the sacraments early<br />
enough so that your loved one will be able to be fully engaged<br />
in the celebration. Also, while the priests try to be available as<br />
much as possible, there are times that they are not able to come<br />
on short notice. They want to be present to minister to the<br />
dying, so whenever feasible, please contact the priests a least a<br />
couple of days before the matter becomes urgent.<br />
Please note that the Anointing of the Sick is not only for<br />
the dying. This sacrament is also for those with a serious illness<br />
or preparing for major surgery, so please call the<br />
Rectory if you or a loved one would like to be anointed.<br />
